### ⭐ Se sobre calienta demasiado

Lo cargué el primer día que lo recibí y se sobre calentó, aunque no lo hubiera usado ni 20 minutos, además la batería le dura muy poco, con 15 minutos de uso baja un 10%

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This phone works with Irish SIM card
*by B***G on 31 January 2026*

Not sure why people are saying this phone only works in US? Was worried by a few reviews saying their UK/Australian/etc. network wasn’t compatible with this phone, but took the risk anyway. Received in a couple weeks and was able to put Irish SIM card (3) in no bother! Phone works perfect. Great buy
